Vijay,
It would not obsolete rfc7285, but it would deprecate much of it. An ALTO
server would continue to provide network maps, cost maps, ECS, EPS, etc,
as in 7285.
But new work & extensions would use the new presentation scheme.
The new format resources can co-exist in the IRD with the rfc7285
resources. Ideally, an ALTO server would provide cost map resources in
both old & new formats, via different resource entries in the IRD.
I see it as replacing rfc7285 in the same way the ipv6 "replaces" ipv4. :-)
